Not dunk worthy imo. Telling bazinga Techbro compamies to pick up after themselves is good, if ineffective. One bike blocking a sidewalk is a minor nuisance, sure, but if you don't complain about it it'll just keep happening and maybe even get worse since the company will increase distribution.
There's a instinctive desire to defend bikes, but this is conceptually not much different from Uber leaving a delivery bot parked on a sidewalk or something. Bikes are good and bike sharing schemes can be good, but this is obviously not s good system.

It's also not conceptually different from all those parked cars, including ones that protrude onto the sidewalk, to which the twitter post seems to take no offense.
The systems work great if they have proper infrastructure to support them (see China), but governments aren't going to build good infrastructure if the systems are sabotaged first by people throwing the bikes in canals or whatever.

I assume the point of the post is that cars are taking up the sidewalk as well, in addition to at least two additional sidewalks of space
